1. Add Developer's Certificate of Origin (DCO) …

   Several major projects and companies (Linux, Gitlab, Chef, in particular) have adopted a
   contribution agreement named the developer certificate of origin (“DCO”), which is clearer
   and less complex legally than Contributor License Agreements.
   
   I think this is a prudent move for compserv's projects, especially given that we will
   have large numbers of contributors (candidates, officers) who will rotate out due
   to inactivity, graduation, or the otherwise temporary commitment of officership. This
   will make it clear to everyone that we intend to redistribute the work of contributors,
   or potentially relicense this work (if consistent with the current license). Hopefully this
   will also avoid any future issues of a contributor attempting to revoke their work.
   
   In particular, open-sourcing hkn-rails may bump into these issues, because of the lack of
   explicit contribution agreement - we will most likely have to ask for written permission
   from each contributor.
   
   Workflow-wise, this will require committers sign-off on major commits (everything that isn't an
   obvious fix, i.e. pull requests), but git makes this easy with the `-s` flag (not the `-S` GPG signing
   flag): `git commit -s -m "..."`
